This is from wikipedia?! Which entry? I have never seen this kind of color scheme before.
As for my life path, according to this scheme I moved from red/orange to yellow/turquoise. No blue or green...

If I may, I would point out a couple of things that make this sound a bit oversimplified.
Firstly, for any given audience there is a wide swath of awareness, distortions, prejudice, etc. It is not as if everybody is in the same place. The problem is that if one wishes to reach the "widest audience" then they must speak to the "lowest common denominator". Which, let's be frank, is pretty low.
This is especially challenging when speaking/writing on fringe or leading edge topics because there is so much ground to be covered to bring the ignorant person up to speed that it makes the whole effort rather a waste of time.
One or two ignorant fools can undermine the entire communication by insisting that everybody else be pulled down to the level of the "lowest common denominator"... asking inane questions [Did you complete the required reading before class?] and/or bringing up points which are irrelevant or just plain wrong ["But the Bible says homosexuality is an abomination!"]
This serves nobody, least of all themselves.

I can't make anybody perceive anything. It is their choice whether or not to look within to see if my words resonate with their inner being. And if it doesn't, then it becomes THEIR responsibility to discern the difference and to communicate that in such a way as to help me better understand my own distortion in communicating the truth.
Getting pissed off and angry, or sulky and down on oneself serves NOBODY. The sooner that a seeker can realize this, the better. It will save them much wasted time and energy which can be reappropriated to a higher purpose.
The interesting/frustrating thing about all of this is that those who tend to get angry/sulky, already being in a victim mentality, are very quick to point the finger at the individual whom they perceive to be the source of the butthurt, and to declare that it is THEM who must improve on their communication skills.
How convenient! Seeing as getting angry, sulky, and butthurt demonstrates that the person who is REALLY in need of improved communication skills is actually the angry/sulky/butthurt person and not the individual whom they perceive to be lacking in "tact".
People who don't have a reliable connection to their inner self, or who continually choose to ignore it and instead believe whatever is most convenient at any given moment, have no business participating in spiritual discussions, other to observe and to listen.
People who DO have a reliable connection to their inner self, don't get butthurt. Period. End of story. Why is this? Because to such a person, the moment that butthurt-ness begins to come on, they immediately turn inward, rather than outward, and so discern the truth of the matter.
I know the above will probably sound arrogant to the extreme (especially to some green vMeme folks) but there is a REASON why all of the mystery schools contained inner and outer circles. Until a person can demonstrate a reliable connection to their own inner source, they are better off keeping their mouth shut and listening to what others have to say.
Most legitimate mystery schools require the neophyte to endure a period of strict silence before they are permitted to voice their opinions.
Why? Because they are supposed to be mindless slaves? No! Because active listening will help them to establish a better connection to their own inner knowing. When they hear/read the words of wise people, and search within to find those words within themselves, then it will facilitate their own spiritual growth by leaps and bounds.
Why? Because when they are able to identify the true source of their butthurt (HINT: It is not me, unity100, or anybody external) THEN they will really be on to something valuable.
What these people need to develop is trust. Only then can they be trusted by others.

The Oracle: Bingo. It is a pickle, no doubt about it. Bad news is there's no way you can really know if I'm here to help you or not, so it's really up to you. Just have to make up your own damn mind to either accept what I'm going to tell you, or reject it. Candy?
